Mercedes-AMG Inspired Boat Wants to Defy Gravity
Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing have teamed up for the sixth straight year.
This year’s collaboration aims to overcome nature on land and sea with the sole mission to ignore gravity with the Cigarette Racing 41′ SD GT3 that will be on display at the Miami International Boat Show from Feb. 11 to 15, 2016. The Cigarette Racing 41′ SD GT3 will be joined by its inspiration, the Mercedes-AMG GT3 race car to showcase the latest in performance boating.
Cigarette Racing will also do a full reveal of the boat on Feb. 11 online at its website for those unable to attend the event in Miami.

Last year, the two collaborated on the Cigarette Racing 50 Marauder GT S concept that drew inspiration from the standard Mercedes-AMG GT S. Priced at $1.2 million, last year’s boat featured an AMG Solarbeam Yellow and matte black paint job, matching the AMG GT S that was also on display in Miami. Powered by twin 1,550-horsepower Mercury Racing V8 engines, the Cigarette Racing 50 Marauder GT S concept has a top speed of 135 mph.
